PBS hires Detectives

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/19/2002 6:09:00 AM

PBS has slated a June launch for new series History Detectives, a co-production of Oregon Public Broadcasting and Lion Television.

The series, described as a cross between Antiques Roadshow and CBS' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, will travel to different cities and towns to uncover the "historic relevance" of buildings, artifacts and personal stories/tall tales.

In a new twist on soliciting viewer contributions, the show will seek out viewer stories "wrapped in a question mark," which the show will try to unwrap with a team of experts in forensics, archaeology, architecture and more.
